Frantically Stocking Up

Du Yue looked at his hesitant face and decided not to beat around the bush.

“How about this? Calculate the price first. I’ll pay you half as an upfront deposit today, and I’ll pay you the other half on the day I receive the goods. That way, you’ll feel more secure, right?”

Seeing Du Yue’s serious expression, the boss took out a calculator and began to calculate the price, even though he was still skeptical.

Ten minutes later, the boss handed the bill, which he had checked several times, to Du Yue.

Du Yue roughly scanned the unit prices of each product. After confirming that they were all at the market price, she went straight to the total number at the bottom of the bill.

She had bought so much food, but it would only cost her two million?

When he saw Du Yue staring at the bill in a daze, the boss wanted to take it back. He felt that this little girl was definitely here to play a prank on him. How could the owner of the university town’s cafeteria come to the wholesale market to purchase goods personally?

“Boss, tell me your bank account number and I’ll transfer the downpayment now.”

The boss’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Little girl, are you really going to buy so many things?”

Du Yue nodded calmly.

“Of course! This is my first business venture after graduation. I’ve already told my family that they’re not allowed to interfere with my business! I have to notch up some achievements so that they will look at me in a new light!”

After the shop owner listened to Du Yue’s ambitious words, he muttered sarcastically to himself, “They’ll definitely have a whole new level of respect for you after seeing you buy so much food at once!”

However, he still quickly gave her his bank account number. Despite having operated the grain store for so many years, this was the first time he had conducted such a large-scale transaction with a single individual customer.

As for Du Yue’s real purpose in buying so many things, he was not the slightest bit concerned.

Du Yue picked up her phone and transferred a million dollars to his bank account. She made an agreement with the boss and instructed him to send the grain to the warehouse in five days, but to also call her in advance. Then, she turned and left the grain store.

Now that the food problem was solved, the next thing to do was to buy oil and spices.

Du Yue went to a shop that specialized in selling various grocery items. She ordered a hundred barrels of various types and brands of cooking oil. Seeing that seasoned oils such as sesame oil and pepper oil were all in small bottles, with a wave of her hand, she ordered another five hundred bottles of each.

As long as she did not run a restaurant during the apocalypse, this much oil would be enough to last her two lifetimes. However, that mattered not to her. In the apocalypse, having more was always better than having less. Furthermore, the abundance of supplies itself would give her a sense of security.

After buying oil, Du Yue went on to buy all sorts of condiments.

The most important ingredient was salt. Other than being a necessary nutrient for the human body, salt was also a very precious and rare item in the apocalyptic world. It was even later turned into a currency that could be used to purchase supplies.

Du Yue bought two thousand boxes of salt in one go, each box containing a hundred bags of salt.

Apart from salt, sugar was also a rare commodity in the apocalyptic world. She ordered 1,000 pounds of white sugar, 1,000 pounds of rock sugar, and 1,000 pounds of brown and other sugars. There were also a variety of fruit and milk-flavored candies, so she bought 500 pounds of each.

He ordered 1,000 bottles of all kinds of seafood soy sauce, aged vinegar, rice vinegar, apple vinegar, dumpling vinegar, and oil.

She ordered 100 boxes each of MSG, mixed spices, five-spice powder, cumin powder, chili powder, black and white pepper powder, and chicken essence.

There were also 100 boxes of various barbecue condiments, pre-packed hotpot soup base materials, and semi-finished seasoning bags for cooking.

Of course, Du Yue did not forget to buy all kinds of sauces.

There was bean paste, soybean paste, bean paste, mushroom paste, chili paste, sweet flour paste, and tomato paste. Each of them was bought in 200-box bundles.

All kinds of herbs and spices used for stewing meat and stir-frying were also necessities. She bought 300 pounds of pepper, chili, star anise leaf, cinnamon, grass, fennel, and the like.

As Du Yue had ordered too much, the store ran out of stock and had to transfer the goods from other branches. Therefore, the boss there agreed to deliver the goods three days later.

Du Yue’s stomach began to growl after buying so many things, so she left the wholesale market and drove to a restaurant.

She could not remember how long it had been since she last ate a hot meal. Du Yue looked at the various fragrant dishes on the table and could not help but lick her lips. She then started devouring the food in front of her.
